This apartment in Florence with a direct view of both the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio, right at the end of the Ponte V
Pros:

Most amazing place we have ever stayed. The apartment was INCREDIBLE.

Cons:

Honestly we loved it all. The elevator was small so if you’re a larger person, might be tough to use, but it was ENCHANTING!!!

Hotel fantástico pelo atendimento e localização
Pros:

Atendimento fantástico pela equipe da recepção. Tivemos duas estadias maravilhosas, em quartos com varanda e vista maravilhosa do Rio Arno e Ponte Vecchio. Muito emocionante a vista noturna, as águas do rio iluminadas pelas luzes e pela lua. Uma verdadeira pintura. Equipe maravilhosa, também ajudou com a questão do carro alugado, com uma refeição no restaurante num horário em que estava fechado. Localização excelente, em poucos minutos de caminhada já se alcança todos os melhores locais. Prédio histórico, quartos bem confortáveis e bem decorados, ótimo café da manhã com bastante variedade e equipe muito cuidadosa em atender pedidos especiais.

Cons:

A maior dificuldade foi com a cidade de Florença em si, que não é amigável para visitantes com carro alugado. Mesmo em maio, que não é um mês de alta estação, em determinadas horas do dia as ruas estão tão cheias de turistas que mal dá para caminhar.

This hotel is fabulous!! We loved it!
Pros:

This hotel was beautiful! Our room overlooked the Arno and we could see Ponte Vecchio as well as Piazza Michelangelo. We were close to everything, but not in the middle of one of the big piazza's. We had a beautiful fruit and cookie platter in the room when we arrived, which was a surprise. The hotel buffet breakfast had a lot of variety and the servers were very attentive. This hotel is more than some, but I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. We did taxi from the train station to the hotel - seemed like a long walk with luggage over cobblestones and through people, but the taxi price was not much.

Pros:

Fantastic location. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Booked a superior room. Room was alright, but balcony was incredibly disappointing, overlooking internal courtyard which was dark and oppressive....

A perfect getaway to celebrate my birthday.
Pros:

It’s such a nice distance away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the views are amazing. Only about a 10 minute walk to see all the main attractions and still so close to restaurants/shops, etc.

Cons:

Καθημερινή καθαριότητα με παροχή ειδών υγιεινής, άνετο κρεβάτι, πλούσιο πρωινό και ευγενικό προσωπικό. Όταν ξαναπάω Φλωρεντία, σίγουρα θα το επιλέξω για την διαμονή μου
